The new installment of the Dying Light universe will have to wait a little longer. The Beast, the ambitious first-person survival horror game from Techland, officially delays its release date to September 19, 2025. This has been confirmed by the studio in a statement to the community, highlighting the importance of delivering the best game possible from the first minute.

The team assures that the decision is solely due to quality concerns. After receiving over 150 positive impressions from media and creators, the studio has decided to take a few extra weeks to refine key details in animations, physics, interface clarity, and overall gameplay balance.

Dying Light: The Beast will finally arrive in September

The new release date sets the debut of Dying Light: The Beast on September 19. It will be available on Xbox Series, PC, and PS5, and will feature a playable demo at Gamescom 2025, which will take place from August 21 to 25 in Cologne.

Techland has highlighted some of the improvements they are finalizing in these additional weeks:

• Adjustments to gameplay balance and encounter design

• Improvements to physics and character animations

• Polishing of cinematics and user interface

• Final touches that make the difference between a good game and a great title

Additionally, they promise to keep the community informed with weekly updates, including a look at the improvements to the dismemberment and gore system, and the return of the lovable Bober the Beaver, a mascot already known to fans.

The Polish studio asks for a little more patience: “We’re very close. Hang in there with us for these 8 more weeks… we can’t wait for you to unleash the Beast”.
